PLAN Test at Burlington High School

The PLAN, a practice test for the ACTs, will be offered to
any interested freshmen or sophomores on Saturday March 9 at BurlingtonHigh School.
This test is recommended for anyone who is interested in taking the ACTs as a
junior or senior or who is interested in figuring out whether they prefer the
ACTs or the SATs. Since the test covers Geometry and Algebra I, it is
recommended that students be enrolled in Geometry or a higher math class at the
time they take this test. The ACT is a college entrance examination that is an
alternative to the SAT and is growing in popularity among BurlingtonHigh School
students. Please visit www.actstudent.org for
more detailed PLAN information. All parents of freshmen or sophomores will be
sent a registration form in the mail this week. In order to register for the
PLAN your son/daughter must complete the registration form and submit it with a
$30.00 fee to the Guidance Secretary.
Each student will receive a packet on test content and sample questions
when they register. The regular
registration period ends Friday, February 1st at the close of
school. We hope you will consider taking advantage of this opportunity.
